Category: Wing Priming

May 5th, 4h

I decided to go ahead and prime all wings skins and leading edges on same time. So, it is going to be a big priming job. First, I decided to prep all the parts so that I can actually tackle the priming job in one day. So:

I remove the inside venyl wrap from all skins and leaded edges.

I rough the inside surfaces for all skins and leaded edges.

I washed all the surfaces

Next is to apply Alumina Prep, Wash, clean with Acetone, and finally Prime.

I did a pretty large priming job, tacking the spars and all the wing ribs. I did follow all the recommended steps for priming to see if I will get better results then the priming I did in the empennage:

scratch all the parts with a scotchbrite

rinse all the parts

clean all part with acetone

brush all the parts with alumiprep

rinse all the parts

clean all part with acetone

Prime

The result looks good, I tried to peal by hand the primer of one of the ribs and I did not succeed.
